Summary - The Brambles, Higher Marley Road, EXMOUTH EX8 5DT
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious four‑bed family house on a very large plot with garage and countryside views.
Large detached family house on approx half‑acre plot with rural outlooks
Set well back on a substantial, mature plot of roughly half an acre, this substantial detached family house captures peaceful suburban living with open green outlooks and distant countryside views. The roomy footprint across two storeys provides flexible reception space — sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast and utility — plus four bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en-suite to the principal bedroom. A long driveway, carport and double garage give abundant off‑street parking.
Built in the late 1960s/early 1970s, the property retains mid‑century character and solid construction but shows typical wear in external elements. The oil‑fired warm air heating and older double glazing (installed before 2002) work but will be of interest to buyers mindful of running costs and future efficiency improvements. Cavity walls are uninsulated (as built), so there is clear scope for energy upgrades and modernisation throughout.
For families the location is strong: very low local crime, fast broadband, average mobile signal and several well‑rated primary schools nearby. The plot size and layout also suit buyers wanting scope to extend or reconfigure the house (subject to planning), creating extra living space or updating interiors to contemporary standards.
A practical note: the roof and driveway show signs of age and would benefit from routine maintenance; council tax is described as quite expensive and the property uses oil heating rather than mains gas. These are important cost and maintenance considerations for prospective purchasers.
